Kupar 12,343 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 (edited) No apologies for some Scottish folk music (instrumental, not a song). This lifts my spirits on a dull, chilly late autumn day Edited November 19, 2020 by Kupar Corrected link Quote Link to post
LoveLadyPee 20 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 You're Beautiful by James Blunt. Super catchy. Never really caught the lines before. Quote Link to post
gldenwetgoose 20,221 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 This morning has mostly been Pink Floyd in the background via Amazon music / Alexa. Only problem is when she plays individual tracks from albums like The Wall out of context, so they start and stop abruptly. 1 Quote Link to post

That's the most irritating thing about, say, genius mixes in iTunes (I know, old tech ...). Can you conceive of listening to a Pink Floyd album where the tracks are mixed up? Horrible!

It's worse than that - "Alexa play songs from Pink Floyd..." and get the reply 'Playing songs by Pink Floyd on Amazon Radio'. Now I guess there's a licensing issue going on somewhere - first song was one of the more introspective tracks from The Wall, and from what I recognised nothing at all from Dark Side, Division Bell or any other works of greatness. Not even the 'commercial' stuff everyone knows like Money, Time or Great Gig In The Sky. Time to get the vinyl out instead I think. 1 Quote Link to post

I retain the capability to play vinyl (just because I could never bear to throw those LPs away) even though they only occasionally come out.

Kupar 12,343 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I love the whole album so much - and this song in particular. Perfect for this afternoon. Quote Link to post

I love the calmness of his playing - he makes complex things look effortless. It's like watching John Renbourn play guitar - the minimum of movement, nothing flashy - not even flamboyant - and yet the sounds ... Quote Link to post

Peefan83 766 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I’m all about the late 90’s/00’s dance, trance, techno etc. The faster the better for me.....oh I like a bit of Irish folk too 🤣 this is what I’m listening at the moment. Quote Link to post
lovestoseepee 292 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Not sure if I should admit this but i recently discovered this song whilst watching some porn ... Enjoyable music can be found in the strangest places sometimes not sure if porn can be considered a strange place to find music but hey. Quote Link to post

We're just two lost souls Swimming in a fish bowl, Year after year, Running over the same old ground. What have we found? The same old fears. Wish you were here. I'll say three things about this. First, it's magnificent - and by far my favourite Floyd song. Second, one of the greatest live music experiences of my life was hearing, with my daughter, the Swedish tribute bank Pünk Flöyd play this song at the Cambridge Folk Festival in 2018 in front of a big and hugely enthusiastic crowd, singing along with real feeling (Pink Floyd are *revered* in Cambridge). Third, you know where I am, my friend. Quote Link to post

Indeed - and I thank you and all my true PF friends from the bottom of my heart. Actually, no need to worry though - I must admit to a choice of melancholy tunes, I'd been listening to songs like Guns & Roses November Rain, Bryan Adams Heaven and Bruce Hornsby - but was in quite a good relaxed mood. My wife had headed off to bed leaving me with my Friday evening diet of Sky Arts music documentaries. Brian Johnson had met Sting, the third part of Icon* had been on and then the story of the album was playing when I posted it. Amazing how music can evoke emotions, in this case though no cause for concern. * Icon - Music through the lens - highly recommended for any lover of classic music, the stories from the photographers' mouths. 1 Quote Link to post

Bacardi 9,048 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I have had a bunch of tiktok songs stuck in my head these last few days. Lemonade, "bitches stay hating, you can't miss what you never had. Hey, Hey! Off the Juice, codeine got me trippin'." I guess that's how the lyrics go lmao. Quote Link to post
